The desire to join an RP instead of run one, but the lack of anything being advertised or open that fits my interests

Why are people posting 1x1 'looking for' threads in the main section, when there's a whole section for 1x1 RP's?

It'd be nice to be able to *play* an RP I'm interested in for once, rather than having to *run* one all the time. Of course, doesn't help that I'm picky about what I enjoy.

Hmmmmm... PM inviting me to an RP on Discord by a user who just joined the site and has no posts? Doesn't sound iffy at all, no sir.

Bio
I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly. I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists. I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom. Or *shudder* school RPs...
I have a lot of fandoms; Transformers, Macross, MLP: FiM, Fallout, Battletech, Ace Combat, and others to varying degrees. But I don't often join fandom RPs because the ones I'm into don't come up, or I am very picky about my RPs and their plots and feel.
I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating. I like a lot of depth, story, setting and character to my RPs, so am usually found in Casual and sometimes Advanced. Though, usually running my own RPs.
I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time. I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones, robots or synthetics, or some hybrid of both.
Outside of my RP tastes and hobby; I read a lot of books, play wargames and TTRPGs, make model aircraft and vehicles, and am also a brony and furry. I have been running a large local furmeet group for the last 10 years and have been involved in running a very successful UK MLP convention.
What a coinkydink. My character will be joined by a co-pilot.
That's good, I was hoping we'd have at least one VF-0D in the group to add a bit of variety and flexibility.
One of the things I quite want to emphasise and pick up on as we go is that a lot of our equipment is quite new and just out of testing, so it might not always work, and will end up with modifications in the field - so, we'll all start out with mostly the same gear and equipment, but pick things up and end up with our own more indvidualised modifications as the story goes along, and we change to new situations.
Man, sorry I disappeared for a few. Have some major IRL decisions to make and it's really stressful. That being said, I'm still in this. Really sorry for disappearing. I'll work on my bio a bit more :) Look forward to seeing an IC.
Glad you're back, and it's okay; hope you worked out/are working out whatever needs to be done and it all turns out ok. Your character is looking great already, I don't forsee any problems with him.
With Vyper back with us, and Slypheed as well, that brings the roster up to six, which, deep joy, is the maximum number. The only way we can get more in now is if someone already in wants a co-pilot. I'll mark the game as closed for applications, and once everyone's characters are up, I'll get the IC started.
@Silverwind Blade The picture of your character in the characters tab is missing/not working.
That's weird, because I can see it fine on my laptop o.O
FurAffinity is weird about image links, it might be because of logins, etc. I've changed the image source to flickr instead. Hopefully that will resolve it. If not, I'll use an alternate picture and change her description a bit.
EDIT: Also, Thomas looks fine to me, no problems with him so far at all. I like the Pink Floyd references a lot, I'm a fan of their music
Also, looks like we are gonna have two characters in this RP of the same species. Unless @Silverwind Blade would rather to not have that happen. If so, I can easily change to making a character of a different species.
There's more than two white, black, asian, etc people in the real world, and it'd be the same kind of deal with different species on Arvara. I don't see it as a problem.
Given some recent developments (good developments) the chance of hitting that window might have been destroyed.
That's okay, I don't think I'll get the post up by the end of the week either. I'll try and do it over the weekend though. I'm going on holiday, but to somewhere with wi-fi, and I've (blissfully, joyously, wonderfully) got the week off work next week too.
Yeah, I did want to try and keep the squad small to begin with. Even with that written in, I was expecting a bit more interest. Still; we've got the minimum number to begin. I was hoping to hear from @VyperPunk to finish off her character, but she seems to have disappeared. @Caliban22 needs to move his character into the characters tab, but is fine to go, as are you.
I'll probably try and get a post up to get us at least off to a start mid-week sometime. I'm still mulling over exactly how to start us off exactly, but it should be fine. I imagine more people may come in once we start going too - it wouldn't be the first time.
